stuff by nicole

I'm excited this year for our upcoming holiday markets!  There's just a good buzz in the air about handmade and everywhere I turn I keep seeing beautiful things! Our next curated online market theme at Poppytalk Handmade is our 5th Annual Pre-Holiday Market, which will run November 7th - Dec 2, 2011. This is a last call for submissions. The deadline is this Friday, October 28/11.

This pre-holiday market will focus on handmade and vintage products for gift giving and celebrating Thanksgiving (American), Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa (or whatever you celebrate) for the upcoming holidays! Should be a fun a month!  We will be providing a 35 - 50 page lookbook as an added bonus! See previous months here.

For more info on how the market works, click here. Please submit by emailing us here with the words "Pre-Holiday Market Submission" in the subject line by Friday, October 28/11!  Pssst!  And there's still a chance to enter our contest to win one of three free spots in our market - check out the details here! Winners will be announced Friday, October 28th/11!
